City Across Time by Peter Kent

Peter Kent's City Across Time is a remarkable treasure that combines rich illustrations with an excellent timeline of cultural and social history from 30,000 BC to the near future.  And beyond.

My son and his first grade buddy were enchanted for over twenty minutes by the detail of the drawings.  Mr. Kent has created a fictional plot of land and accurately chronicled the changes that occur over time as a result of human occupation.  Each century is marked by illustrations and information that are easily understood by all ages.  The rich drawings clearly depict the layers of culture that are built as successive civilizations come and go.  My son was engaged by the elements that carry from one view to the next - the same tree, streambed or ancient garbage pit.  He searched each page for each item, noting its position as the world above changed.

City Across Time is a book that you and your kids will return to over and over again.  Treat yourself.
